Market Dynamic

Key Drivers and Emerging Trends

Rapidly growing healthcare sector and the continuous advancement in the field of medicine coupled with rising use of smart polymers in efficient drug delivery and surgical procedures are some of the primary factors driving the growth of the smart polymers market size. In addition, according to the World Bank, in 2018, the healthcare expenditure is around 9.8% of the world GDP owing to the increasing focus towards the advancements of medical devices used in treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of diseases globally. This is expected to provide growth opportunities to the smart polymers market over the forecast period. Moreover, growing utilisation of stimuli-sensitive smart polymers in textile, automotive, biomedical, packaging owing to their benefits including biocompatibility, stability, and flexibility is propelling the market growth. Furthermore, increase in demand for shape memory polymer in the textile industry; thermos-responsive polymer in automotive sector; and photo-responsive polymers in robotics and electronics industry applications is further escalating the market growth.

Restraint in the Smart Polymers Market

However, high cost of technology development and complex smart polymer production are expected to hamper the growth of the smart polymers market. Additionally, lack of awareness and low clinical implementation of smart polymeric drug delivery systems is further restraining the market growth.
